The ignition control module on the Ford Ranger should be mounted either against the inner fender close to the radiator support, on the intake manifold, or on the distributor for some models that have a distributor ignition system. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Ignition Coils/Modules
The electronic ignition system uses an individual ignition coil for each cylinder. There are two separate ignition module assemblies located in the camshaft cover of each cylinder bank. Each ignition module assembly contains an ignition control module and four ignition coils. Each ignition coil connects directly to a spark plug using a boot. This arrangement eliminates the need for secondary ignition wires. The ignition module assemblies receive power from a fused ignition feed. Both ignition module assemblies connect to chassis ground. A Reference Low and four ignition control (IC) circuits connect each ignition module assembly to the PCM. The PCM uses the individual IC circuits to control coil sequencing and spark timing for each ignition coil. The IC circuits transmit timing pulses from the PCM to the ignition control module to trigger the ignition coil and fire the spark plug. The PCM controls ignition system sequencing and timing events

You most likely have a bad light control module (LCM). I have seen this problem many times before with this module. The LCM basically controls all the lighting in the car. It is located in the passenger side kick panel, take off the plastic panel behind the door post under the dash and it is a black control module back there. You can pull it out and send it away to be repaired from places like BBA reman, this will avoid having to have a new unit programmed and will save you some money.
